Outside the thatched cottage, under Huang Liang's thodical narration, the many changing situations beneath Sky Ravine were revealed before Lu Ye's eyes.
The Blood World, Blood Owl, and the nurous beings of the Blood Race that surged forth from the Blood Sea.
To him, these things were sowhat incredulous.
Within the Nine Provinces, there were the human race and Demon Race, and they existed in the Soaring Dragon World as well, including the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain he had entered last ti. Generally speaking, the relationship between the human race and the Demon Race was relatively peaceful.
After all, many of the Demon Race had evolved from demon beasts.
Beyond these two major races, the only other race Lu Ye knew of was the Insect Race.
This race, almost devoid of spiritual intelligence, brought only destruction and slaughter.
Now another Blood Race had appeared...
Compared to the Insect Race, the threat of the Blood Race was undoubtedly greater, because aside from their racial origin being different from humans, there was no other difference.
They possessed the sa spiritual intelligence as humans and were even capable of cultivation. Such a group of outsiders suddenly descending into the Soaring Dragon World posed a great threat to the entire domain.
"Celestial Saint said he had found the path forward for cultivation. However, he rely attracted a group of outsiders from beyond the heavens. Now the Allied Forces have suffered heavy losses, and my Soaring Dragon cultivation world is in grave danger. Celestial Saint... the eternal sinner!" Huang Liang lanted painfully.
If the conflict between the Soaring Dragon cultivation world and the Sky Ravine Sect was rely an internal trouble, the present situation was now an external threat.
As long as it was between one's own people behind closed doors, any fight was bearable. But who could have predicted that Celestial Saint would take such a step?
"Young friend, please save our fellow cultivators of Soaring Dragon!" Huang Liang suddenly beca solemn, bowing deeply to Lu Ye.
During the few days he had been healing here and communicating with Lu Ye, although he could not confirm that Lu Ye was the savior in this catastrophe, the Formation in dicine Valley was undeniably real.
The Formation here had already surpassed the standard that the Soaring Dragon cultivation world should possess.
The Allied Forces were presently crumbling like a mountain collapse, being pursued and killed by the Blood Race and the remnants of Sky Ravine Sect. Without external assistance, it was feared that no one would survive leaving Xuezhou.
He could naturally go alone, but how much could he truly accomplish?
And once the Allied Forces that ca to Xuezhou were completely annihilated, the Soaring Dragon cultivation world would inevitably be severely weakened. Perhaps this single battle would break its backbone.
dicine Valley... had beco the last hope.
To pay the dical fee, Lu Ye had set up such a trendous Formation in dicine Valley, and not long after, dramatic changes had occurred in the Soaring Dragon World.
Under the influence of preconceived ideas, Huang Liang faintly felt that this coincidence must also be the result of being blessed by fate.
The convergence of the world's fortunes upon one person, allowing him to prepare early to reverse the calamity, naturally indicated he was the savior!
Therefore, now that many cultivators of the Allied Forces were being pursued, Huang Liang could only pin his hopes on Lu Ye, or rather, on the Formation of dicine Valley.
Lu Ye naturally understood his aning, slowly shaking his head and said, "Sect Master Huang, you shouldn't ask about this matter, you should ask the opinion of the owner of this place."
"I have no objections." Little Miracle Healer's voice ca from behind, and she stepped forward, "With such anomalies beneath Sky Ravine, dicine Valley is first in line. There is no intact egg under a fallen nest. Saving them is also saving ourselves, however..."
She turned her head towards Lu Ye. "The Formation of dicine Valley is indeed mysterious, but no one here in dicine Valley is proficient in formations. I will need our young friend to handle the power of the Formation."
Lu Ye nodded: "I can."
"In that case, thank you, young friend, thank you Fellow Daoist!" Huang Liang bowed again before hastening to send out ssages. In fact, before he discussed the situation at Sky Ravine with Lu Ye, he had already sent a ssage to Kui Yuanshan, asking him to lead people toward dicine Valley to escape. At that ti, he didn't have ti to seek the consent of Lu Ye and Little Miracle Healer. Making ands now, no harm was done.
"How is Liuli doing?" While Huang Liang was busy, Lu Ye asked.
Little Miracle Healer said, "She's stabilized for now, but solving her problem... is difficult."
"May I ask Fellow Daoist, is the birthmark on Liuli's back related to Sky Ravine in any way?"
Little Miracle Healer looked up in the direction of Sky Ravine, smiling bitterly. "That's a good question. When your father brought her to years ago, upon seeing the birthmark on her back, I imdiately thought of Sky Ravine, but only felt it was a coincidence. In fact, until today, I still held that thought. After all, Sky Ravine is Sky Ravine, individuals are distinct. How can there be any connection between humans and Sky Ravine, but now..."
She didn't complete her sentence, but the aning was clear. She felt, just as Lu Ye did, that there must be a significant connection between Liuli's birthmark and Sky Ravine, otherwise the coincidence was inexplicable.
Sky Ravine had anomalies, which perfectly mirrored on Liuli.
"But, what is the connection between them?" Little Miracle Healer looked puzzledly at Lu Ye.
I'm asking you, who are you asking?
Lu Ye averted his gaze.
"If it is really so, then to completely cure her ailnt, we might need to resolve the matter with that Sky Ravine."
Lu Ye's mood was heavy.
To deal with Sky Ravine, easier said than done, but who could achieve it?
Why the Sky Ravine had appeared, no one knew, let alone how to resolve it.
Of course, according to the intelligence obtained now, the appearance of Sky Ravine was sowhat related to the Blood Race; otherwise, they wouldn't have erged from it.
Perhaps... this issue could be approached starting from the Blood Race? Lu Ye pondered thoughtfully.
As an outsider, not truly Ye Liu, he naturally didn't have deep feelings for Ye Liuli, but now that his identity was Ye Liu, he had to act according to this role.
The real Ye Liu faced with such a problem naturally would not flee, so he too could only face the challenge head-on.
And then... the Dragon Throne!
Zhuang Bufan, bursting forth the last glow of life, had demonstrated the power and dangers of the Dragon Throne; Lu Ye had thought it was a chance blessed by the fortunes of this world, but now, beneath the surface of this opportunity, wasn't it also a responsibility?
At this critical mont when the world was on the verge of collapse, divine objects like the Dragon Throne suddenly appearing in this world, and coincidentally falling into his hands, was it really just a coincidence?
Perhaps there were so forces he couldn't see, stirring things behind the scenes?
How powerful the Blood Race was, he wasn't sure; he only knew how powerful the Dragon Throne was, but this formidable external force was not so easy to harness.
One misstep could lead to death and obliteration, and Zhuang Bufan's fate was a harbinger.
Huang Liang suddenly soared into the sky, speeding forward, his voice carrying from afar, "I will go to support them, please get ready, young friend!"
After several days of treatnt by Little Miracle Healer, his injuries were no longer serious. The reason he hadn't left yet was partly due to his intense curiosity about Lu Ye, wanting to stay here and observe Lu Ye more; secondly, the Allied Forces were strong, solving the issue with Sky Ravine Sect wasn't a problem, thus his intervention was unnecessary.
But now, with the Allied Forces being chased, his arrival could certainly play so role.
"It's supposed to be dicine Valley, a place where lives are saved, yet soon it might turn into a land of bloody slaughter." Little Miracle Healer sighed faintly, her towering chest heaved sharply once, even though Lu Ye was looking straight ahead, the peripheral vision of his eyes still caught this noticeable fluctuation.
"Saving others is the sa as saving oneself; killing enemies is likewise saving people," Lu Ye responded offhandedly, "I must also ask Fellow Daoist to take your attendants and Liuli and hide for a while."
Little Miracle Healer nodded, "It will be tough on you hereafter."
She turned and walked inside, yet she had only taken a few steps when she suddenly stopped, turning to say, "Do you know? The Dragon Throne is actually comprised of two parts."
Lu Ye turned his head to look at her, perplexed and puzzled.
"One is the Dragon King Armor, which is the part you hold; the other is the Dragon Spine Saber! Ever since two thousand years ago, the Dragon Spine Saber had appeared and was obtained by so, but the saber seed to possess spiritual intelligence, exceptionally ferocious, and has been suppressed within a top force. Over the years, that force has been trying to mitigate the ferocity of the Dragon Spine Saber, unfortunately to little avail."
The only entity Little Miracle Healer would call a powerful force was likely the Three Great Overlord Sects.
Mitigating the ferocious aura, it seed all three Great Overlord Sects had corresponding thods.
Haoran Academy had Haoran righteousness, Vajra Temple had Buddhist chants, and Imperial Heaven Sect had Mysterious Secret thod; as to exactly which one... Lu Ye did not know.
Previously, when Huang Liang discussed the Dragon Throne with him, he hadn't ntioned anything about Dragon King Armor or Dragon Spine Saber, leading him to believe the so-called Dragon Throne was just the object he held.
Now, thinking back, when Huang Liang spoke, he indeed seed as though his words were incomplete, hesitating to reveal sothing, causing Lu Ye much annoyance within.
It appears that what Huang Liang concealed most likely concerned the Dragon Spine Saber.
From his standpoint, it was natural for Huang Liang to withhold so information from Lu Ye; since ancient tis, every appearance of the Dragon Throne had caused bloody storms in the Soaring Dragon World, never leaving it in peace.
Not knowing what kind of person Lu Ye was, Huang Liang naturally did not dare to lay all his cards out—just in case Lu Ye was the restless sort, having acquired the Dragon King Armor, he might then seek out the Dragon Spine Saber, which could lead to trouble.
Vajra Temple!
Suddenly, this inexplicable thought popped into Lu Ye's mind—that the Dragon Spine Saber might be suppressed within Vajra Temple.
Because compared to the thods of Haoran Academy and Imperial Heaven Sect, Vajra Temple's Buddhist chants focused more on mitigation rather than suppression!
"Fellow Daoist, what do you an by telling this?" Lu Ye squinted at Little Miracle Healer.
This woman, not ntioning this matter earlier and choosing to do so only after Huang Liang left, seed unintentional yet was deliberately so.
Little Miracle Healer said, "No other reason; it's just that I see you use a saber, and since the Dragon Throne includes the Dragon Spine Saber, perhaps this ti the Dragon Throne will find its true master."
She stepped forward into Liuli's room, carried her out, called her few attendants, and then, led by Yiyi, they hid inside a protective array.
In dicine Valley, only Lu Ye stood alone, Amber crouched on his shoulder, eyes bright and spirited, looking into the distance.
After ensuring Little Miracle Healer and the others were settled, Yiyi quickly returned and entered underground, ready for battle.
The winds were bleak and desolate.
Until a certain mont, Lu Ye, lost in thought, was awakened by Amber's roar. Looking up, he saw at the horizon's end, myriad streaks of light desperately fleeing towards him, and behind the light, even more streaks of bloody light crisscrossed the sky.
The chasers and the chased, all had arrived!
